Population of HRM continues to outpace existing high growth projections HRM Population Projections ( ) High Growth Scenario 480, Statistics Canada Estimate of HRM Population: 403, , , , , , , , , , , ,

11 HRM Field Programming Impact Stadium Field Programming Impact Total HRM Sport Field and Artificial Turf Usage (2009): 30,172 hours HRM Facility Name Annual Usage in Hours (2009) Proportion of Total Sportfield and Artificial Turf Usage Dartmouth Sportfield 1 1, % Halifax Sportfield 1 1, % Dartmouth Sportfield2 1, % Halifax Sportfield 2 1, % Estimated Stadium Annual Field Usage 1,500 5% Full stadium programming represents only 5% of total usage booked Over time, this proportion can be expected to decline

12 The Context Range of Events Occurring (not specific to HRM) Estimated Available Events Annual Events Special Events (over ) Soccer Football 13 1 Rugby 5 Lacrosse 2 Field Hockey 4 Multi Sport and Other 4 11 Events Total Available Events Estimated Annual Spectators and Participants 60,000 90,000 spectators annually 4,000 6,000 participants annually Potential for hosting significant number of Provincial and Atlantic Regional Events Primarily non ticketed, participant based events

13 Possible Major Events and Indicative Attendance Years 1 4 Football: Uteck Bowl (7,500) Field Hockey Canada National Championships (10,000) Soccer: CSA National Event held annually (15,000) Soccer: CONCACAF Championship Event (3 15,000 = 45,000) Soccer: FIFA Women s World Cup (3 20,000 = 60,000) Major Entertainment Event (20,000) Years 5 8 Football: Uteck Bowl (7,500) Soccer: CSA National Event held annually (15,000) Football: Vanier Cup (30,000) Women s Lacrosse World Cup (10 4,000 = 40,000) Soccer: CONCACAF Championship Event (3 events at 20,000 = 60,000) Major Entertainment Event (20,000) Years 9 11 Football: Uteck Bowl (7,500) Field Hockey Canada National Championships (10,000) Soccer: CSA National Event held annually (15,000) World Lacrosse Championship (10 5,000 = 50,000) Major Entertainment Event (20,000)

14 The Opportunities Non Sporting Event Opportunities Type of Events with Capacity to Draw 20,000+ Spectators: Large scale outdoor summer concerts Outdoor trade shows Significant cultural and community events Infrastructure Requirements to Host Major Non Sporting Events 1. Basic infrastructure to support performance systems and equipment 2. Augmentation of the public facilities 3. Augmentation of support facilities 4. Augmentation for vehicular access, parking and for backstage set up 5. In field would require capacity to support heavy loads Large scale live performances drawing 20,000 or more spectators in HRM are feasible only once or twice per season.

15 Range of Facility Options and Preferred Option Option 1: Do Nothing or Build Temporary Option 2: Build Minimally for FIFA Tournament Option 3: 10,000+ Permanent Seat Facility (Expandable) Option 4: 20,000 Permanent Seats Option 5: 25,000 Permanent Seat Stadium

16 Recommended Concept (Option 3) Scenarios Scenario 1 Conservative Scenario 2 Moderate Similarities: Type and scale of facility Estimated number of event days Largely similar operating cost assumptions (conservative) Attendance estimates Differences: Conservative facility revenue estimates based on Recognition of risk Market based estimate of revenues while maintaining recognition of risk

17 Recommended Concept Indicative Financial Performance Financial Performance Potential Economic Impact Community Return on Investment Scenario 1 (conservative) Scenario 2 (moderate) Annual Deficit to Facility of $190,000 (excluding capital reserve) $475,000 (incl. capital reserve) Annual breakeven performance (excluding capital reserve), Annual Deficit to Facility of $295,000 (incl. capital reserve) $ m annually to HRM from event spectators and participants $ m annually to HRM from event spectators and participants Function of: the range of uses developed on site, location and accessibility to a majority of the HRM resident base, etc. Enrich community participation in sport Enable improved services such as coaching, elite training and potentially cultural programming. quality of life contribution

18 The Recommended Concept 10,000+ Permanent Seat, Multi Use Facility (Expandable)

19 Importance of an Expandable Grandstand Major grandstands essential Principal and secondary grandstand

20 No Internal Track Recommended

21 Examples of Multi Use

22 The Concept Multi Use Opportunities

23 Ensuring Best Location The most advantageous location will be one that meets critical, future oriented needs, including: 1. Regional accessibility; 2. Maximizes the benefits of existing infrastructure in the Regional Centre; 3. Development as part of an existing campus of recreation and other complimentary uses, or in close proximity to other such uses; 4. Enables expansion on site to accommodate the potential evolution of the Stadium; and 5. Creates opportunities for private development.

24 Final Report Recommendations 1. Proceed to Phase 2 detailed analysis of cost, site and design 2. Proceed with a market based opportunity for a 10,000 + permanent seat facility 3. Invest in primary and secondary grandstands, building and site services, site capacity to enable expansion as viable. Design and capacity of modular expansion of the facility is critical. 4. The model is the community plus model dual mandates of community use of the facility as well as significant event potential; 5. Based on Phase 1, do not pursue a permanent seat facility of 20,000 to 30,000 seats

25 Final Report Recommendations (continued) 6. Undertake a value for money (VFM) exercise relative to market potential, of additional permanent seats over and above 10, Based on Phase 2 assessment of capital cost, site location and design opportunities, undertake necessary VFM analysis as part of continued business planning. 8. Recommended Delivery mechanism: Design Build Operate 9. Operational should reflect need to effectively integrate with broader Event Attraction mandate of City and Province. 10. Financial Performance of the Facility is subject to risk to reflect risk, adopt Scenario 1 indicative financial results as the working assumption subject to further assessment as part of Phase 2

26 Final Report Recommendations (continued) 11. Enable maximum economic and community social impact from this facility by enabling its mandate to evolve. 12. Adopt the following principles in determining specific form, function and location of facility: Year round operation Exclude internal running track Maximize the potential for tournaments and sport tourism by locating in proximity to existing or future complimentary facilities (e.g. field, other built facilities, other hosting infrastructure) Animate the site as a campus Develop to a high level of quality Ensure regional accessibility Maximise the benefit of existing infrastructure
